neither cripples the city nor retards its
progress. We should have been gratified
had the view maintained here generally,
that the percentage is to be taken from the
net waterworks revenue only, been con-
frmed by the Court. But the city's credit
is unframed and there is nothing in the
decision to make us hesitate an instant in
any of the progressive and Improvement
measures proposed. The debt will all the
sooner be wiped out, and that is one salts
faction we can take from the decision; but
it should serve also as a stimulus to the
people to labor more diligently still, for
the advancement of the city, and as soon
as possible to rid it of creditors and free it
from law suits, in most of which, concern
ing its certificates of credit, 1t appears to
get the worst of the bargain.
THE Epoch well says that good many
false ideas have got abroad about the
right of public meeting; and the claim is
llOh lldb OtlOlS IL al OlilOt
rights must give place. The Epoch quotes
from the Constitution of New York a
clause precisely like that in the Constitu-
ton of California: Every citizen may
freely speak, write and publish his senti-
ments on all subjects, being responsible for
the abuse of that right; and no law shall
be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty
of speech or of the press"
Our contemporary adds: In the same
liberal and tolerant spirit the first amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States enjoins Congress from passing laws
abridging the freedom of speech or of the
press-a provision similar to which is also
embodied in the Constitution of this State.
But freedom of speech does not mean
license of speech. Nor does the right
of the people peaceably to assemble"
imply a right to block a pubic thorough
fare and interrupt traffic and disturb order.
In securing liberty of conscience, the
makers of the State Constitution expressly
provided that this SHOULD not be so con-
strued as to excuse acts of licentiousness
or justify practises inconsistent with the
peace or safety of the State"
The trouble with the Anarchists, Social
lists, and all of that ilk, is that they ig-
more any limitation whatever upon their
right, in favor of the sacredness of the
rights of others. The people of New
York have the right by local regulations
to prescribe how public meetings shall be
Held, and where and when, and to pro-
scribe the utterance of words that tend to
incite to riot and disorder, and to menace
the peace of society and the lives and
property of citizens.

Professor Heinrich Mayr, of Munich, dis
tinguished arboriculturist to be Imperial
Director of Forestry for Japan. Under his
guidance the study and promotion of
forestry in Japan will soon be hourishing.
Some of our States need to follow the ex-
ample of japan, and cease pottering along
with unsalaried Commissioners, who, how
ever well-disposed, have not practical
knowledge of the subject in hand. The
State that selects skilled man and puts
its forestry movement under his control
will make the greatest and most rapid strides
in the right direction to conserve forest
growth, and prevent dangerous denuda-
ton of lands.

THE Louisville Cour;er-Journai, rep
resentative Democratic paper calls upon
the President to give up his ''civil service
hobby" The President has not exercised
himself very vigorously on that "hobby."
He went into Office upon platform ex-
plicitly pledging him to civil service
reform, and what little favor he has
shown it, he was bound to extend by the
platform, the Democratic party organs now
call upon him to ignore. The party was
insincere when it wrote civil service re-
form into the document 1t did not in
tend it to mean anything; it was inserted
as bait for certain class of Mugwumps,
and it caught them.

VICE Consul BEE is entitled to the
credit of being on the right side this time
He is aiding the Federal officials to stop
the Chinese slave trade. The records of
the Consulate have been by him placed at
the command of the Customs officers, so far
as they will throw light upon the unlaw-
full landing of Chinese. A statement is
credited by the San Francisco Bulletin TO
Consul Bee, that more Chinese women
claiming prior residence, have come from
China to California since the Restriction
Act went into force, than were in California
between 1S49 and the passage of the Act
This remarkable testimony must serve to
open the eyes of doubters to the enormity
of the slave traffic and the immunity it has
enjoyed.

THE decision of the Superior Court of
San Francisco in the Mcdonald case, that
a wife can maintain an action against an
offender who entices her husband from
her, is in accord with reason and simple
justice. 1t was not and never has been
contended that husband could not main
tain an action for the alienation of his
wifes affections, by the influence of one
who entices her from him. The San Fran
cisco Court is not the first to decide that
the law sustains the wife's right to MAIN
tain such an action, and the surprise is not
at its ruling, but that at this late day OBJ
lection should be made to the right. The
English Courts in their later decisions
says the Court of San Francisco, are
in advance of many of the Courts of the
United States upon this question, fact
that is not complimentary to the progress
i've and enlightened spirit of the American
people.

Catarrh is very prevalent disease, with
distressing and offensive symptoms. Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy
cure, from the fact it acts through the blood,
and thus reaches every part of the system.

GOLDEN GATE ASSOCIATION.

The work of the Golden Gate Associa-
ton, as outlined in its last annual report.
is full of profound interest From tabu-
lated statement of kindergarten progress. it
is noted that the close of the first wears
work gave two classes, with an enrolment
of 100 children, and cash receipts of
81 sos 20. At the close of the seventh
year there were thirteen classes with an
enrolment of 9S3 children, and cash re-
ceipts of $3.50 %. Over 25,0O0 reports
had been distributed, including republica-
tions of the reports in the British Isles.
These reports have served as propaganda
all over this country, and IN many foreign
countries, including South America and
Japan.
A kindergarten is sustained by Mrs. AL
exander nee Miss Croker, another by Mrs.
Senator Hearst, another by Lady Hesheth
nee Flora Sharon, and still another by the
Produce Exchange of San Francisco.
Hundreds of visitors from all parts of the
country, and from foreign lands, make it a
point to visit these kindergarten. In
this way the work spreads, and needy chill
dren of other places feel the thrill of ten
der care. The relation of the Kindergar-
ten to industrial training is now being
clearly demonstrated. am glad to know
that a movement is on foot to start a free
kindergarten III Sacramento, and it should
receive the hearty support of every patri-
otto citizen. Such q work will tell on the
future Of your city. B.

THE PAST YEARS ENROLMENT

There have been over 700 children en-
rolled in the Stanford Kindergartens dur
ing the past year. This number, grown
into noble manhood and womanhood, would
make a thriving village. Who can esti-
mate the power Of such work as this?
Mrs. Stanford loves the little children.
She delights to visit them, and distribute
little tokens of love with her own hands.
The portrait of Leland Stanford, Jr., occu-
pies prominent place in each Kinder
garten, and the little ones are taught to
cherish the memory Of their beloved bene-
factor. Flowers, fresh and fragrant, al
ways adorn the beautiful pictures Mot
toes, appropriate and suggestive hang I'M
derneath the portrait. "Our Loved Bene-
factor" 1t is not the will of our Father
which is in heaven that one of these little
ones should perish" 81 love them that
love me, and they that seek me early shall
find me-" "His works do follow him"
How have the words of beautiful writer
been verified in this case: "When death
strikes down the innocent and young, from
every fragile form from which he lets the
painting spirit free, hundred virtues rise
in shapes Of Mercy, Charity and Love- to
walk the world and bless it. OF every tear
that sorrowing mortals shed on such green
graves some good is born, some gentler ma
ture comes" Benevolence thus bestowed
is transmitted into eternal possessions.

Not a New rheory,

Everybody is now more or less familiar
with tho latest theory of epidemic dis
Ease, which is now known to be propa-
gated by germs that may, under certain
circumstances, be disseminated By tho
winds, and are taken into the system
through the lungs or the stomach. Hero
Is remarkable anticipation of this germ
theory. Tllevenot, who died in 1867, in
his account of his Asiatic travels, tells US
of a hot pestilential wind prevailing in
summer from northwest India up to the
western frontier of Persia He thinks hc
has identified this wind with one men
toned in the Book of Job, and lie says
that they who breathe it turn black and
fall dead-not, however, everybody who
inllalns this wind, but, he explains, there
are streaks of fire in it as small as n hair.
which, have been scsn by some, and they
who breathe in those rays of fire die of
them, the rest receiving no prejudice.
'tIf it be SO. )" continues Thevenot; ''it
may be the thought that these fires
volant proceed from sulphurous cxhala-
tions that rise ont of the earth. which
being tossed by the wind kindle flor they
arc inflnmnnablcD, and being with tho air
sucked in by respiration, consume tho
cntrails in a moment Thus, in their
mere wild guessing about the influence
of Asiatic winds, more than two cen
turics ago, we have, mixed up with
much that is fantastic, the distinct
hypothesis of the germ origin of disease,
the possibility of these germs being dis
tributed by the air, and tie mode of in
PRODUCTION into tho human system, all of
which is now entirely corroborated by
the lntest science.-New York Homo

in the same place; and again on Nov. IL,
1879, when Tycho Brahc noticed a bril-
liant star of unusual magnitude in n spot
where lie lad only seen small ones until
then. 1t had no tail, nor was it sur
rounded by haze, that might lead OBJ
servers to takeit for comet; it resem-
bled, on the contrary, the other fixed
stars, and shed more brilliant light than
the stars of the first Iaagnitude, cxcclling
in this respect Sirius, Jupiter and Vega
1t coilld only be compared to Venus,
and was visible also IN the daytime, even
at noon. At night, with a covered sky.
while all the other stars arc invisible, it
was repeatedly tlistinsuishable through
the clouds. Tyclio WAS convinced of it's
complete Immortality. It's light began
to fade in November, 1872, and after
having sllonc for nearly seventeen
months it disappeared entirely in 1874.
In vain the astronomers lave looked for
it in its wolIted place since; but now,
after the usual period of about 300 years,
it is expected to show itself again.

Juvenile Humnhfty Mt Play.
AIT all hours of the day. and but too
often far into the night, there may be
seen. disporting itself In the roadway of
the street nclnding its CUTTERS a good
deal Of unwashed, scantily dressed, ju-
venile humanity. These juveniles range
from babes of 3 or four weeks old up to
the boys and girls of or 10 years of
age, who have charge of them. For,
where IS not a girl In the family, boys
are pressed into the service as baby
minders, which is so much the worse for
the Individual babies concerned. Not that
the boys are wiIIfully careless or cruel,
but they arc not the born nurses that the
girls are. With girls OF tile gutter chill

t4real live babies seems to come as

girls of the better off classes of society
To the casual observer tho children of
Tenement street look d nliseTabI.. set Of
little wrctches, but, as a matter of fact,
they are happy enough in their way.
They are sharp, active, self-reliant, easily
pleased, and especially capable in tho
matter Of pleasing theInselves. Their
games are for the most part toylcss ones
so far at any rate as .sbought; toys arc
COlCerneus anu Iilat Is perhaps why they
have tendency toward the form ,f
dramatic representation. They play at
and in wonderfully realistic fashion
fathers and mothers, keeping house,
keeping shops and keeping school. IL is
perhaps worth rclnarlS that the latter
game, as played lgy gutter children, does
not embrace the idea of the abolition of
corporal punishment. The cane-or the
stick, strap or ropes end. used as n sub
stitute for tits regarded not merely as
the emblem, out also as the practical in
strumcnt OF authority. With it disci-
pline is maintained and attention to
studies secured. The mimic pedagogues
of the gutter apply it freely. and with a
vigor that is not always sufficiently
restrained, even by the fear of rcprisals
-the recollection that the teacher of ono
round of the game will be the scholar of
the next. The privilege of "larruping
the pupils is evidently regarded as tn.
highest prerogative OF the teacher, and
the one thing that makes the Office en-
viable.
In some of the outdoor games of the
gutter youths there is a good deal of
chanting of doggerel rhymes, and it may
well be that the idea of the ..action
songs, which now form SO popular a
part of the Kindergarten system. was
originally taken from these street games.

The tendency of American newspapers
to take unwarrantabIe liberties with ccr-
tain nouns is one of the most unsatis-
factory features of contemporary jour
nalisrn. To turn defenseless noun into
an aggressive verb is an act as lavylcsS as
it is unpunishable. When a reporter as
serts that John Smith sricide,l'' he
makes his meaning clear, but he shocks
the nerves of those conservatives who
base their English on dictionary prcce-
dent. .Interview' used as verb is an
other outcome of journalistic indcpend-
ence. But even the two words cited are
by no means the most striking illustra-
tions of the tendency referred 10. a
western paper saws that one of its sub
scribcrs -.Tllanksgave' at home. Shades
of Noah Webster, what word. 1t is on
a par with another provincialism which
sometimes shocks the nerves in such a
sentence as the following: James X
and llis- brother Sundayed in town" The
list of these vaga6ond verbs might be
indefinitely extended, but the above viii
suffice.
1t seems to- be acllaracteristic of our
people to- take the shortest road to the
goal of their desires. The process of
turning nouns into verbs is one of the
most effective methods of making one
word serve the purpose of two or three.

origin of Drinkinp the Health.

The apparently meaningless custom of
drinking mans health in social glass
is ancient, before you find its meaning.
When gods were deceased ancestors, they
were dincd and wined and toasted; that
is, they had the best of everything, for
they were supposed still to be capable of
hunger and thirst. But as the dead could
only "smcll sweet savors. - and take of
the odor of the wine, the living drank the
cups for them. To drink good cup was
religious and pious custom. So, one
friend meeting another, called down the
blessing of the gods on him by drinking
gods cup with him. OF course one good
turn deserves another, and the two would
quaff to each others health, instead of
uttering a prayer. Nowadays, in Tom
Aliens saloon, down Rogue alley, two
roysterers drink healths with rosy noses
and watery eyes, little knowing what it
means.-G Globe Democrat.
